Answer:
The sentence that has a gerund is:
B. Chewing the heels off all of my nice shoes is Stinker's favorite thing to do.
Explanation:
A gerund is a form that is derived from a verb. However, it functions as a noun. It is formed by adding -ing to the root of the verb. For example: dance - dancing; eat - eating; study - studying.
Among the options, the one that has a gerund is letter B. "Chewing the heels off all of my nice shoes is Stinker's favorite thing to do." The gerund "chewing" functions as a noun. In this sentence, more specifically, it functions as the subject.
You can see in the first and second paragraphs how she feels at peace (or rested).
Then take a look at the third paragraph and notice how this feeling is starting to inspire her.
I believe the answer you are looking for here is 'inspired'.
There is a deeper message in Forster's essay.
Forster, in his essay titled "The woods" reveals the effects of properties on their owners. He explains how properties require a lot from their owners, they serve as burdens to their owners and yet the owners keep wanting more.
Yes, he effectively expresses his opinions in clear terms that can be well understood by the readers.
I get curious and find it exciting to own properties, but as soon as I own them, they tend to take much of my attention than necessary just as Forster claimed. The importance of owing things despite this supposed shortcoming cannot be overemphasized.
